Perhaps you've brought up some valid doubts about the project, but you've failed right from the beginning by calling it a scam. Even if all your claims can be accepted without refutation and there is zero new development (which I highly doubt - how much work is local or unavailable to you at this moment), who is being scammed and how? As mentioned, it's open source and community-driven. It will continue to be that way regardless of the challenges that we encounter. That's why some people are dismissing this as nothing more than FUD.
